Be sure to check out the past posts here on this thread about the gear support and CG. Many that first fly this plane have a hard time landing because of the natural tendencies of this bird to float. After I beefed up the gear block and added the nylon gear,,,plus changed the CG to (4" inches from the LE) she lands like a trainer everytime.
Also I set my high rates on 100% with -8% expo (Futaba radio) and low rates at 80% w/-10%expo. I use a third rate selection for takeoffs, landings and non-wild arse manuvers. This is setup at ailerons 90%, elev 83% and rudder 100% on all three rate settings.
The plane will fly where you point it , but gives you a wonderful feeling of stabillity and control. Your gonna love it.

Let's see those pics !!!![:-]
